No one in town does hot dogs better than Good Dog Houston. This “little hot dog place that could” originally operated exclusively from a baby-blue truck. These days, it’s in a charming cottage that’s been converted into a restaurant with a pleasant front porch. The difference is in the ingredients. Good Dog Houston elevates the humble hot dog from America’s favorite junk food to, well, real food! Everything it uses it either makes itself or buys from other small Texas businesses, including the hot dogs and Slow Dough Bread Co. buns. Good Dog even makes its own condiments, such as the “short bus mustard.”
